EP98 The Monkey (2025) “The monkey that likes killing our family, it's back. It must be vanquished”
Description
On this week’s episode of Pod of the Dead, we’re diving into Stephen King’s The Monkey (2025), the brand-new horror adaptation from director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House). Based on King’s chilling short story, The Monkey follows two brothers haunted by a cursed cymbal-clapping toy that brings death every time it plays.
We break down the film’s terrifying set pieces, Perkins’ unique directing style, and how this adaptation stacks up against other recent Stephen King films. Plus, we get into behind-the-scenes details, cast performances, and where The Monkeylands in the 2025 horror landscape.
If you’re a fan of Stephen King movies, cursed object horror, or creepy toy scares, you won’t want to miss this one.
